有关中国的除夕传说的英文材料
守岁的传统源自于一个有趣的民间故事。在中国古代有一个叫作‘年’的凶猛怪物，在除夕夜‘年’会从地洞里出来吃人。因此在除夕夜，每家每户都会一起吃晚饭，晚饭以后没人敢睡觉，所有的家庭成员会坐在一起聊天互相壮胆。逐渐在除夕夜守岁的习惯形成了，因此在中国，庆祝春节也被叫作过年。然而在城市里很少有人以守岁来欢迎新年。

除夕夜里，人们通常都会熬夜，这被称为“守岁”。在夜里，家人们围坐一团，一边喝酒、一边聊天，大家一起看春晚、吃零食(通常是糖果、花生和瓜子)。据说子女睡得越晚、父母就活得越长。大家会等到凌晨或是春晚结束后再睡，并且整晚都不会关灯。

Butthereisastorybehindallthecelebration,belowisthelegendofhowtheChineseNewYearcelebrationbegan.
据传，有一个食人野兽叫“年”，有一张能一口吃掉好几个人的血盆大口。这个怪物在山上找不到吃的的时候，就会下山到附近村庄，攻击和吃掉所有能吃的动物，包括人。村民们整个冬天都在恐惧中度过。
Accordingtolegend,therewasaman-eatingwildmonster"Nian"withanextremelylargemouth,capableofswallowingseveralpeopleinasinglebite.Thisbeastappearedinacountryvillage,towardstheendofwinterwhentherewasnothingtoeatitwouldvisitthevillagesandattackandeatwhateveritcould.Thevillagerswouldliveinterroroverthewinter.
据传说，有一个人吃的野生怪物“年”一个非常大的口，吞咽几个人在一个单一的叮咬。此兽出现在乡村，对冬季结束时，有没有吃的，它会到村里去，什么能吃就吃什么，所以整个冬天村民都生活在恐惧之中。
Thenextyearitreturnedandthesamethinghappened.Themonsterseemedtoostrongtobedefeated.SoallthevillagerswouldtaketheiroldandyoungdeepintothemountainstohidefromNian.
来年冬天，怪兽如期而至，同样的悲剧再次发生，怪兽之强壮非常人能够击倒，所以所有村民都携带全家老小到深山躲藏，以避免成为“年”的食物
Oneday,awiseoldmanpassedthroughthevillageandtoldanoldwoman,"IwillteachyouhowtoscareNianaway!"
有一天，一个充满智慧的老人经过村庄，告诉一个老妇人：“我叫你怎么把年吓跑”。
ThateveningwhenNianarrivedatthevillage,hesawthatallthehousesweredarkexceptthehouseinwhichanoldwomanlived.Nianapproachedthehouse,lickinghislipsinanticipation.Suddenly,thedeafeningnoiseoffirecrackerssoundedendlessly.
当天晚上，当年踏进村子时，它见村里所有的屋子没有灯光，除了那个老夫人家亮着灯。年靠房子，舔着嘴唇，期待着自己的晚餐。突然，震耳欲聋的鞭炮声在耳边响个不停。
Themonsterwasstartledandjumped.Suddenlyherealizedthatthehousewascoveredinredpaper.Thisscaredhimevenmoreanditranoffintothemountains.Whenthevillagersreturnedtheysawthattheoldwomanwasunharmed!Peoplelaterlearnedthat"nian"wasafraidofloudnoisesandthecolorred,ThevillagerscametogetherandagreedthatwhenitwastimeforNian'sannualvisittowardstheendofwintertheywouldstartafireinfrontofeverydoorandnotgotosleepbutrathermakenoise.
“年”被鞭炮声吓得跳起来，突然发现那个房子外面贴着红纸，这个把怪兽吓得落荒而逃，村民回到村庄发现老妇人毫发无伤。后来，村民知道了这个叫“年”的怪兽害怕噪声和红色，于是村里的村名都赞同，在“年”下一次“光顾”村庄的时候，家家户户都在门前点起火，守岁然后制造“动静”。
Thefollowingyear,thevillagerswerereadyforit.Theysetofffirecrackers,litalltheirlampsanddecoratedtheirhousesinred,theypasteredpaperonthedoors,wearredclothing,hangupredlanterns.Theymadeloudmusic,playthegonganddrumsandtheydanceandburnthefireworkswheneverNianwasabouttoarrive,toscaredawaythebeast.
第二年，村名们都做足了准备，他们准备好了鞭炮，点燃了所有的灯，把房子装饰橙红色，在门上贴红纸，穿红色的衣服，手里拎着红灯笼。她们敲锣打鼓大声弹唱，跳舞，走到哪里鞭炮就点到哪里。
Nianhadnotcomedownthemountaintocauseanytroublethereafter.
年从此以后再没敢到这个村里惹麻烦了
